His family said he had battled mental health issues since his mum died when he was nine years old. They gave permission for the pre-recorded show to be screened, which was dedicated to him.

His family said in a statement: "We have lost a very special young man who sadly never recovered from the tragic loss of his mother when he was only nine years old.

"Tragically this is another example of the mental health issues suffered by young people today as highlighted by the Heads Together campaign supported by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.”

Before the show aired host Paddy McGuinness tweeted: "Tonight’s Take Me Out is in memory of Charlie. A fantastic lad who I'm sure will be greatly missed by his wonderful friends & family. RIP."

His twin brother Harry appeared on the show revealing that Charlie's nickname was the Chazman.

His loved ones wanted his date with love match Jo-Tara to be broadcast as planned on ITV1.
